baronessekatFor the Christmas cookie baking this year I wanted to try some new things. The first on the list is one I always associate with Christmas but never tried making and was rather surprised to find out just how easy they were.

Makes: 36 cookies
Preparation Time: 15 min
What You'll Need:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
30 large marshmallows (a 10-ounce bag contains 38 to 40)
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons green food color
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 cups cornflakes cereal
Red-hot cinnamon candies, for decorating

What To Do:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
When melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon food color and the vanilla. Add more food color, if desired. Stir in cornflakes.
Drop mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto wax paper. Decorate with candies. Let stand 30 minutes, or until cool.
Thoughts Had I known they were actually just modified krispie treats I would have made them ages ago. These will most certainly be going in the Christmas Cookie rotation.
Rating 4.75 out of 5 (clean up is a pain)
